Titans are randomly generated creatures created at worldgen, so they don't have any raws.

The closest thing Bay12 has to a flamewar is an argument over philosophy that slowly transitioned to an argument about quantum mechanics.

The trick is to only make predictions semi-seriously.  That way, I don't have a 98% failure rate. I have a 98% sarcasm rate.

Not strictly true - they do have raws, but they're stored inside world.dat/world.sav (and you can extract them using special tools).

I'm still curious to know exactly how the original poster managed to capture a deity...

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

I'd assume it's a clown impersonator who's part of a neighboring civ.

In theory DFhack could be used to make this work, but there are enough stages that I don't really have the knowledge of how to achieve it.
  • The first stage is simply adding it to your civilisation, which I think "tweak makeown" might be able to accomplish. There's probably a script out there somewhere if it can't...
  • ... but since they're considered megabeasts/semimegabeasts, any civilian is hardcoded to attack/run away from them, so you'd have to remove the appropriate tokens from that creatures raw file (accessible via DFhack)...
  • ... but since they've most likely inflicted some horrific atrocities in the past (what with them being megabeasts) civilians are still likely to attack/run away from them because they're considered an enemy of the civilisation. In order to fix that there's probably some editing to history/entity links or somesuch to be done...
  • ... and then there's any unexpected things that might crop up from it...
tl;dr: It's possible but probably not easily achievable :P
